A more prolific hitting trio than Hall of Famers Joe DiMaggio Hank Aaron and Ernie Banks would be hard to find. With Joe D.'s 56-game hitting streak from 1941 still intact Aaron's 755 career home runs and Mr. Cub's 512 round-trippers this threesome represented some of the toughest outs in baseball history.
This lot features a trio of baseballs each signed by the three different Hall of Famers. Two of the baseballs are Wilson Horsehide Cover Little League baseballs while the third is a Wilson Leather Cover Jim "Catfish" Hunter All-Star-branded baseball. Banks signed each of the baseballs in black fine-point marker and added "Chi-Cubs 1979" beneath his signature. DiMaggio who also autographed the baseballs with a fine-point black marker signed one baseball on the sweet spot with his signature appearing on the lower panels of the two remaining baseballs. "Hammerin' Hank" meanwhile also signed in black fine-point marker and placed one scrawl on the sweet spot on one baseball with his two remaining signatures appearing on the panel below the sweet spot where he added the inscription "Best Wishes" to those baseballs. A superb collection of three autographed baseballs signed by three of the greatest players in MLB history.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
Includes LOA from Jim Bouton.
